Immigration and Asylum Scottish Parliament Motions S5M-13339 Gordon MacDonald (SNP): Young Syrian Refugees Settle Better in Scotland – That the Parliament welcomes reports that young Syrian refugees are “better supported” in Scotland than in England; understands that more than 12 million people are thought to have fled their homes since the start of the civil war in Syria in 2011; acknowledges that UK ministers have been urged to be "more generous" after research found those who had been resettled in Scotland were happier and much better supported compared with those in England; recognises that experts from the University of Glasgow compared the treatment of Syrian refugees aged between 18 and 32 in the Lebanon, Greece and the UK, and also investigated the difference in support provided north and 1 south of the UK border as part of the project called Building a New Life in Britain; welcomes reports that 81% of Syrian refugees in Scotland intend to remain in the country, compared with 65% of those in England; considers that Scotland has a long history of welcoming refugees and asylum seekers; supports the Scottish Government’s position that it is a human right to be able to seek asylum in another country; believes that the Scottish Government’s New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy, endorsed by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, sets out a bold vision for how Scotland can further welcome and support people to rebuild their lives from the day they arrive, and considers that, if the aim of refugee policy is to facilitate settlement, the support offered to refugees in Scotland should be emulated across the UK. http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx?SearchType=Advance&R eferenceNumbers=S5M-13339 S5M-13354 Patrick Harvie (Green): Destitution of Asylum Seekers – That the Parliament condemns the reported intention of Serco to carry out what it considers mass evictions of asylum seekers in Glasgow, which it understands will make up to 300 people homeless and destitute; further understands that neither Glasgow City Council nor the voluntary sector appear to have been given advance notice of the intention to take this action, with the effect that emergency measures have not been put in place to protect people's safety and wellbeing; believes that the UK Government's asylum system uses destitution and homelessness as deliberate objectives of its policy; considers that both the policy and the actions of private sector organisations that carry it out are reprehensible; recognises what it sees as the extraordinary efforts made by voluntary organisations, church and community groups, and many individuals in Scotland, to support people who have been forced into destitution by the asylum system, and urges the Scottish Government to explore all possible emergency actions that it can take to support both the people directly affected by this humanitarian abuse and the organisations that work with them. http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx?SearchType=Advance&R eferenceNumbers=S5M-13354 S5M-13399 Sandra White (SNP): Glasgow City Council, Refugees Are Welcome Here – That the Parliament expresses its support for Glasgow City Council in its setting up of a taskforce in a bid to assist 300 asylum seekers facing eviction from accommodation provided under the UK Government’s Compass contract; acknowledges that Glasgow has always been, and continues to be, a willing and active partner in the UK’s asylum dispersal scheme; understands that, despite having one of the largest populations of asylum seekers in the UK, supporting 10% of the UK asylum population, Glasgow receives no funding from the UK Government’s dispersal programme; welcomes the Scottish Government’s condemnation of this policy and its calls for the UK Government to end the system of asylum accommodation contracts in the private sector currently being tendered, and to provide funding direct to local authorities for accommodation and advice for asylum seekers; understands that, as housing is provided to asylum seekers under reserved immigration legislation, Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government are legally prevented from directly housing failed asylum seekers; states its solidarity with the hundreds of demonstrators who protested in Glasgow against these plans and considers that this was a reflection of the widespread opposition from local residents to this policy; supports the third sector and communities in assisting asylum seekers, and accepts that Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998 provides protection for an individual's home, prevents public authorities inhibiting individuals from entering or living in their home and provides the right for individuals to enjoy their home peacefully without intrusion by a public authority. http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx?SearchType=Advance&R eferenceNumbers=S5M-13399 2 UK Parliament Debates (House of Commons) Immigration Detention: Shaw Review https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2018-07-24/debates/03FA26A3-90A1-4E58- 826A-1341ABA6D146/ImmigrationDetentionShawReview (House of Lords) Immigration Detention: Shaw Review https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2018-07-24/debates/B6D7044C-5250-42A3-9BB9- AADD276B6967/ImmigrationDetentionShawReview Immigration (Provision of Physical Data) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2018-07-24/debates/52E598C9-7B25-4F97-B561- B8B4EB7BEF2C/Immigration(ProvisionOfPhysicalData)(Amendment)(EUExit)Regulations2018 UK Parliament, House of Commons Written Answers British Nationality Afzal Khan (Labour) [165709] To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average cost was of processing (a) a child's citizenship application, (b) an adult's citizenship application;

Reply from Caroline Nokes; The length of time required before settled status can be achieved by young migrants on limited leave to remain will vary according to the basis on which that leave was given, and is set ou t in the Immigration 3 Rules. As these are fixed periods set out in the legislation, there are no average periods as such. https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-

  • October 2017) Labour Party Conference
    Constituency Report (October 2017) Labour Party Conference As you all will know, this September we had a fantastic Labour Party Conference in Brighton. Throughout the Conference I met people buzzing with fresh ideas. The optimism and determination of our MPs and party activists contrasted so starkly with that of the government, and showed that we in the Labour Party are a government in waiting. At Labour Women’s Conference I had the honour of giving the keynote speech, which allowed me to pay tribute to those women who have paved the way Visiting the CWU Conference stand before me. I spoke about the importance of social care, how we have a Cinderella service, and how local councils and healthcare services need to work together to provide a proper safety net. It was a fantastic opportunity to speak to Labour women from all over the country, celebrate how far we’ve come in the last year, and instil a sense of determination for the campaign’s ahead. On the Monday of Labour Party Conference I gave a speech in the International Session, in my capacity as Shadow Foreign Secretary. I set out Labour’s vision for an ethical foreign policy, the need for a revolution of Supporting Northern Irish women values in our outlook towards the world, and the re- establishment of a world based on rules and laws. In an era characterised by the resurgence of isolationist, nationalist leaders, the Labour Party must be as internationalist as ever.

Why Stay Together? State Nationalism and Justifications for State Unity in Spain and the UK This paper examines the way party elites in the UK and Spain discursively construct the nation and justify state integrity in the face of resurging Catalan and Scottish demands for self-determination and independence. While in each case there is a plurality of conceptions of the state, in Spain the demos is predominantly defined as a single, indivisible nation of equal citizens while in the UK the focus is typically on a plurinational Union. This, we contend, shapes the arguments made in favor of state unity. The dominant case for state integrity in Spain is more negative, focused primarily on the unconstitutionality of independence and delegitimizing the independence agenda.
